D.C. Rape Crisis Center

The DC Rape Crisis Center Advocates are a confidential resource for survivors of sexual assault, intimate partner violence (domestic violence/dating violence) and stalking. They provide a safe place to talk and any conversations with an advocate remain confidential.

A consultation with an advocate does not constitute a formal report and can:

Provide confidential emotional support, whether the assault occurred on or off campus, and regardless of whether you were a UC student at the time.

Connect you with medical care, while you are in DC if you need it.

Explain your options for filing a report with law enforcement, as well as your options if you choose not to report, so you can make the decision that’s right for you.
